I haven’t seen much uproar among people I know.
Actually, this forum is the only place where I have seen people not mocking the stupidity of the manufactured outrage.
So I am doing my best to bring the old dead lion story the mockery it deserves.
I note that a number of the whiney lion fetishists are entirely absent on the planned parenthood threads.
There is a reason.
If you do the statistical average...using all of Africa....there’s around 250 people killed by lions each year (more than those killed by mass shootings in the US, at least on the average).
So you do this pondering thing. What if the friendly liberal crowd really jumped on this and helped to improve the lion population in Africa from 30,000 to 60,000? Well....it’d mean some members of the animal population would shrink in relationship....due to the food intake of the lions. Also, you’d double the number of humans killed by lions to 500 people. All of this comes back to the ages old lesson in life that people ought to learn....consequences will occur....sooner or later.
The proximate cause of our American collapse is the tremendous success of our grandfathers and fathers. They created wealth beyond comprehension this resulted in idleness in their children. The old saw comes in here; i.e. “an idle mind is the devils playground.” Today’s people are not so much bad as they are trivial; look who was elected as President TWICE!
I deal with this daily. I have customers who think their pets and horses are rational in some way. To suggest otherwise is to lose their business. Most people now believe animals have some sense on par with humans, they have some degree of rationality, they can communicate in some detail, they have emotions like us (they express love, they feel loss, happy, sad, etc), have a sense of past and present. MOST of this is untrue. Regardless, it causes people to be more concerned about an animal than a human. If an animal hurts me, their first concern is always for the animal. Recently, I saw a stray on a freeway; more people stopped to catch the stray, at their peril, than I have ever seen stop for an accident or to aid a disabled motorist.
OH TELL THE SHARKS!!!!
bored
it also shows the more sinister concept of media programming the populace into manufactured outrage, in order to mask the real outrage - planned parenthood - by distraction.
kinda like the confederate flag
Its sounds like the dentist deserves prosecution.
What he did was sleazy.
Lion’s are far from say the wild deer overpopulating and causing damage here in Maryland, they are a limited species.
It makes sense to make protected places for them.
If Cecile was running around our US parks killing and wounding humans, few would object to killing him.
but he wasn’t.
Who would fetishize a whiney lion? (Duck’n & runn’n)
Over 35 years ago I was in a market in a small town in Burma. Someone was selling a leopard or jaguar skin of some sort. I asked why they killed it. Seems it came around their place and they had little kids, so it was a no-brainer to kill the cat. They were just recycling the remains. Good enough for me.
There are some here.
You really have to know the whole story.
Palmer might not have a total angel’s halo following him around as he got in trouble once before for some kind of hunting irregularity. But Zimbabwe chooses to advertise for a certain number of lion hunters, even knowing that it does not have an unlimited supply of lions. And it is unclear whether Palmer knew that his hunting guides had set up a lion that was a local pet for him to shoot. At 80% unemployment the temptation to cut corners to get paid must be immense.
See “Mountain Lion, Puma, Catamount, panther”...
That’s the US version of a lion. They’re killed here all the time because they’re dangerous predators. When they’re in their own habitat, left to themselves, they keep the population of deer, mountain goats, etc., and other prey animals at natural levels. When they venture onto rancher lands and kill livestock or come into contact with humans, they’re eliminated.
Same with wolves, coyotes, badger, bobcat, and wolverines.
Nature’s cruel; but she has a balance. Whether it’s humans as the dominant species at the top of the food chain, or something else... there will be balance.
This lion was lured out and killed out. Not because it was a danger, but because it was wanted as a trophy.
It was not a good thing to do.
That's interesting.
Which parts are true and which parts are untrue?
A lot of the folks in Zimbabwe were like, what is the big deal, people get killed by wild lions almost daily here.
They might have thought different if it was a pet that was not considered dangerous, but STILL....
